I read something today that sparked my thinking: How desperate am I for Jesus?

Am I desperate enough to ‘go against the flow’ of the world and all it’s allure? Am I desperate enough to push past my comfort level to simply obey Him?

Am I desperate enough to forego sleep to spend time with Him? Am I desperate enough to turn off the TV?Am I desperate enough to ‘slow down’ and step back from the busyness of life to re-evaluate how I spend my time?

This is not about ‘works’ but about our hearts. Do our hearts so love Jesus that we are willing to consider the questions above?

I have sung a worship song many times that says “I’m desperate for You”….but am I really?

Here are a couple of the dictionary.com definitions of desperate: “having an urgent need, desire, etc.” and “extreme or excessive”

Does this describe how you feel about Jesus? Again, this is about the heart….not what we ‘do’ for Him but how our hearts feel about Him.

1 John 4:19 tells us ‘We love because He first loved us." Our love for Him comes out of His love for us. I encourage you to pray as I have been praying for some time: “Lord, give me a deeper revelation of Your love for me so that I can love You more.”
